New Afrikan Black Panther Party

The New Afrikan Black Panther Party (NABPP) is a communist political organization in the United States which was founded in prison in 2005. The NABPP was modelled after the Black Panther Party, which had also operated from prisons after a police crackdown in the 1970s, and it originated as a group focused on African-American culture. A Marxist splintergroup from the cultural group formed the NABPP, and it organized prisoners of all races into subgroups such as the Brown Panthers. The NABPP distributed prison literature and fought to achieve prison reforms; its other goals were anti-imperialism, anti-racism, and feminism.
